Amaç: Çocukluk çağı over kitlelerinin çoğunluğu benigndir. Ancak yetişkinlik döneminde görülen malign tümörlerde çocukluk çağında görülebilmektedir. Bu tümörlerel ilgili çocukluk çağına ait bir protokol hala yoktur. Bizde kliniğimizde opere edilen over kitleleri ile ilgi deneyimimizi paylaştık.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Hastanemizde 2010 ile 2020 yılları arasında over kitlesi nedeniyle opere edilen 0 ila 18 yaş arası olgular çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların yaşları, ultrasonografi (USG) ve diğer yapılan görüntüleme yöntemlerinde kitlenin maksimum çapı ve yapısı, başvuru semptomları, tümör belirteçleri, operasyon verileri, patoloji sonuçları kaydedildi. Patolojiye göre 3 gruba ayrılarak demografik veriler karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışmanın yapıldığı 11 yıllık süreçte 106 olguya over kitlesi nedeniyle 107 ameliyat yapılmıştır. Olguların yaşları 2 gün ile 17 yaş arasında değişmekle birlikte ortalaması 13.4±14.1’dir. Bu ameliyatlardan 9 (%8.4)’ü malign (3’ü (%2.8) borderline), ve 44 (%41.1)’i benign neoplastik over kitlesi, 54 (50.5)’i nonneoplastik over kitlesiydi. Neoplastik over kitlesi nedeniyle yapılan 53 ameliyatta patoloji sonuçları; olgulardan 31 (%29)’u germ hücreli tümör, 19 (%17.8)’i epitelyal tümörler, 2 (%1.9)’u seks kord stromal tümör, 1 (%0.9) leomiyom olarak değerlendirildi.
Sonuç: Çocukluk çağı over kitlelerinde multidisipliner yaklaşım unutulmamalıdır. Çocukluk çağında az görülen over tümörlerinde gerektiğinde yetişkin protokollerinden yararlanılırken, çok merkezli çalışmalarla seriler oluşturulmalı ve böylece konu ile ilgili çocuk protokolleri oluşturulmalıdır.

Objective: The majority of childhood ovarian masses are benign. However, malignant tumors encountered in adulthood may also be seen in childhood. There is still no ovarian tumor management protocol for children. We shared our experiences with ovarian mass cases operated in our clinic.
Material and Methods: Patients aged 0-18 years and had surgery in our hospital between 2010 and 2020 due to ovarian masses were included in the study. The ages of the patients, the maximum diameter and structure of the mass on ultrasonography (USG) and other imaging modalities, symptoms on presentation, tumor markers, operation data, and histopathology results were recorded. The patients were divided into three groups in relation with tumor histopathology, and the demographic data were compared among groups.
Results: In 11-year period, 107 surgical operations were performed on 106 patients due to ovarian masses. The ages of the patients were between 2 days and 17 years, with a mean age of 13.4±14.1 years. Of the masses, 9 (8.4%) were malignant (3 (2.8%) borderline), 44 (41.1%) were benign, and 54 (50.5) were non-neoplastic. Histopathology results of 53 surgical operations performed for neoplastic ovarian masses were germ cell tumor in 31 (29%), epithelial tumor in 19 (17.8%), sex cord stromal tumor in 2 (1.9%), and leiomyoma 1 (0.9%) patient.
Conclusion: Adult protocols should be used when necessary in rare childhood ovarian malignant tumors, and large multi-center patient series should be constituted in order to establish pediatric protocols related to the subject. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary in childhood ovarian masses.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
